I have heard that someone is working on it. Fauske and Associates
makes a good TEK4010 emulator. I don't have a phone # handy.

The public domain program DOSFLX which runs under CP/M does this
beautifully!

Try Kenneth Nist's GRAPHICS package for the DEC Rainbow under
MS-DOS and Turbo Pascal.
Or, wait a little bit for my package which is being optimized
for Turbo Pascal V4.0.

Use SETRAM, a public domain RAM disk program which allows 8K to 800K
RAM disks which are configurable on the fly without having to reboot.
Install the call in the CONFIG.SYS file: DEVICE=SETRAM.SYS and then
type A>SETRAM F 100 for a 100K RAM disk or A>SETRAM F to clear it!
So, the big question. Where can I get this stuff? Well, if I get
enough response (more than 2), I'll post SETRAM and the other stuff
sometime soon. Or, call 1-315-589-7361 (300/1200/2400 baud).
You'll be connected to one of the world's largest DEC RAINBOW FIDO
BBSs! 67MB of disk storage ON-LINE! (We'll not all of it is used).
Tell the Sysop, Fritz, I said hello.
